Summer 2023 Contingency Days & Results Day
The awarding bodies have collectively agreed a contingency day for several years now which is always scheduled at the end of the GCSE, GCE AS and A-level exam timetables.
The contingency day is in the event of national or significant local disruption to exams in the United Kingdom, being part of the awarding bodies’ standard contingency planning for exams.
Following the Covid-19 pandemic, further resilience was needed within the exam timetables. A single contingency day was not felt to be sufficient if a national event or incident had a significant effect on the exam timetable. For example, summer exams could be affected by extremely high temperatures.
For the June 2023 exams, the awarding bodies have therefore introduced two additional half-day contingency sessions. These are on Thursday 8 June 2023 and Thursday 15 June 2023. The standard contingency day remains at the end of the timetable being scheduled on Wednesday 28 June 2023.
Schools and colleges should ensure candidates and parents are aware of the contingency arrangements on these three days. They should consider the contingency day of Wednesday 28 June 2023 when making their plans for the summer. Candidates should be encouraged to remain available until Wednesday 28 June 2023 should examinations need to be rescheduled.
Results Day 2023
- GCSE Results Day: Thursday 17 August 2023
- ALevel & BTEC Day: Thursday 24 August 2023

SUMMER 2022 RESULTS
Huge Congratulations to our 2022 Year 11 Students:
Congratulations to all our students on a fantastic set of GCSE results. Achieved in the context of coming out of the deepest crisis to hit education since the Second World War, the outcomes are quite phenomenal.
Well done and thank you to all – students, parents and carers and of course staff. All have showed such patience, tenacity and innovation across a two year course that had been severely blighted by the pandemic. We wish all our students the very best as they progress to the next stage of their Learning Journey.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 13 Students who achieved excellent results in their A Level and BTEC Level 3 exams this summer.
A third of all grades were A*-A and over 80% were A*-C. We are delighted that, in a highly competitive year, over 80% of those who chose to apply for university were awarded a place at their first-choice institution.
Our Head Girl, Ozgecan, achieved A* A* A* and is off to Cardiff University to study law. She was a phenomenal role model during her time as Head Girl and we wish her every success. She was among the 40% of students who achieved at least AAB grades.
This was the first year of public exams following the unprecedented disruption of the pandemic and for our students to have achieved such strong results is testament to their hard work, dedication and determination. They amazed us every day with their positivity and resilience and the institutions that they are moving on to for further study or training are incredibly lucky to have them. We wish them every success in the future and ask them always to remember that, with God all things are possible.
